Date of birth:

1-How did your interest for computers start? Which year was that?

I have no sincere interrest for computers, i see them as tools... :)
stupid malfuntioning tools.

2-What machines did you previously have? What did you do with them?

a500 c64

3-For what specific reason did you end up making music rather than gfx, coding?

In the scene? well Imake gfx too but i prefer to paint on real canvas and
shit, (since that is my real interrest. The music thing is something i do
when i havent got any good ideas for pictures i want to make)

4-Which composing programs have you been using? Which one in particular?

err, lets see.. Protracker and it's early cousin's like noisetr and so on...

5-With which module did you feel you had reached your goal?

Some... "dream soundtrack" and "universe" were damn close to the image or
mood, ambience i was trying to achieve.

6-Is there a tune you would like not to remember? For What reason?

hehehe... dream on ;) naah.. there are quite a few chippies that i made for
fun as a sarkastic joke on the popular eurodisko-music. Wich people actually
took very serious and liked... But i made them and i stand for them...
Im glad people liked them, but it's a bummer that some of those who heard
them didn't get the irony haha....

7-In your opinion, what's the value of a music in a demo, game?

Well you can make a good demo without music too, :) it's the concept and
design that matters really. If all parts are balanced or inbalanced with
a twist you have a masterpiece or at least a demo that youll remember.
It's the "vibe" of a demo that i like. And if the Vibe appeals then i am
happy and wont delete the demo after viewing it.

8-At present, are you still composing? For professional or leisure purposes?

I have never done a professional song. It's always for my own amusement.
Then if someone else likes it it's a plus. But it's nothing crusial.

9-What do you think of today's pieces of music such as mpeg,wave,midi,etc...?

I think it's quite okay, a sad thing is that IMHO the MAJORITY of those who
track, get hung up on the technique rather than the _music_.

10-Could you tell us some of your all times favourite tunes?

well.... tracked ones? sorry, im lost there... i only kollect chippies by
other musicians hehe...

11-Are you planning to make an audio cd with some of your music remastered?

See question 8. But i dunno... I will never sit down and think, "I am
now going to track a song that will make me rich" :-). If someone calls me
and says, hey i want to release that and that track i would gladly let him
or her do it...

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Dizzie G, John Coltrane, Bill Evans trio, miles davis, roland kirk,
some us.house mixtapes, russian classical composers, and... well 80%
of it is Jazz Music...

13-What does/did the amiga/c64 scene give you?

The C64 made me aware of that there actually was a scene, and when i bought
of an amiga i was dragged in...

14-Are you still active in the scene these days?

Sort of...

15-Anyone to greet? Anything left to say? Feel free...

Friends, past, present and future.
